Welcome to Tuesday Night Fights, a weekly celebration and analysis of street-fight videos found on YouTube. Tonight's fisticuffs: "Unbelievable street fight in Hollywood - Bro vs. Hipster." Tonight's commentator: friend of Deadspin Chris Kluwe, a sensible human who is scheduled to appear on tonight's Colbert Report. (Coming next week: Zodiac MF reviews what may be the most mesmerizing TNF ever, calls it "ONE OF THE FINEST VIEWING EXPERIENCES YOU'LL FIND THIS OSCAR SEASON.")
So, for whatever reason, I've been asked to comment on another shining example of humanity treating each other with kindness and respect. Sadly, that fell through, and this is about Tuesday Night Fights.
This one opens up with a standard Hollywood nightlife shot, although I have to wonder at the creep factor of randomly filming people from your apartment window. I think that violates some sort of rental agreement, unless you're in Venice Beach.
Anyways, there's some people hanging out in front of a newspaper store (they still sell those?) when all of a sudden BAM. EPIC BITCH SLAP. The guy delivering this ferocious blow has what I believe to be a mohawk mullet, or momlet, which naturally enrages his victim so much that he makes the internationally recognized symbol for a dance battle - rolling his hands in front of his abdomen while swaying back and forth.
A local harlot has no interest in the dance battle, however, and she engages in some light pushing with the Lord of the Dance, drawing the concern of a wandering bystander. Wandering Bystander takes possibly the most unathletic fall I've ever seen (bear in mind I've watched game film of myself) before getting back up and realizing he has episodes of Xena he could be watching at home.
Meanwhile, Lord of the Dance is now running down the street after Momlet, and I have to say, the view from the filmer's window is quite expansive. I feel like the entire wall must be floor to ceiling plate glass windows, perhaps with ornate scrollwork along the upper portions, behind which lies an intricate series of folding Japanese rice paper screens. Some have pictures of cranes mid-flight.
Anywho, at this point, Lord of the Dance is being restrained by a rather husky gentleman while Momlet inadvertently teabags Local Harlot. They have a *moment*, and Local Harlot decides to chill on the sidewalk; I can only imagine because it's cleaner than the inside of her dress. Husky Lad recruits another local passerby and leads Lord of the Dance away to more Xena reruns.
Unfortunately, the thought of Xena awakens Lord of the Dance's inner warrior princess, and he takes off back down the street to finally bring Momlet to justice in the most epic dance off since Thriller. Sadly, Local Harlot gets involved, and this beautiful expression of modern art devolves into a chaotic melee in front of some poor housewife's Prius, or maybe it's a Focus. I'm not really sure. Either way, she's not getting her groceries unloaded anytime soon.
At this point, it's basically a mess of random people punching at each other and squabbling on the ground in the middle of a busy intersection; fortunately (I guess) no one gets run over, though a wandering group of brosefs jumps and cheers as they wander past on their way to the nearest Affliction store. I'm pretty sure they get run over in the future.
Eventually it all winds down, and I have to say, I think we can all learn a valuable lesson from this - mainly, that whatever they're selling in that corner store is only 99 cents. I wonder if it's any good.
And now, the rest of the Tuesday Night Fights:
• Madchild bros scrappin' in Charlottetown, bro! Rawk! (Start of Violence, 0:35)
• Shirtless ponytailed bro in jorts got some rage in his heart, yo. (SoV, 1:02)

• A "Drunk Bar Fight" in the parking lot, complete with excessive purse swings and head kicks. (SoV, 0:12)

• Our regular update from the 215 area code features a brawl in the mall where I hung out as a kid! The Cherry Hill Mall. A glorious place. A loving place. A safe place.

A sin that RMMS wasn't there to restore order last week. Those kids would've thought twice about acting up. H/T @_magowan for this.

The Belém clássico, between Remo and Paysandu of Brazil's lower leagues, was disrupted by a playful dog charging into the box during a scoring chance in the 85th minute. He may not have gotten a paw on the ball, but he surely cramped the left-footed Remo player's shot just enough to make sure the match remained scoreless.
Lookit him trot off the field! He just wants to play! Why will no one play with him? He is a polite puppy as far as they go.

I remember reading somewhere that our emails in Gmail are safe from destruction (even if one of Google's server farms got burned by terrorists or something) because the data is basically replicated and stored securely in multiple multiple places so the data will never be gone. And there is no need to backup our emails in Gmail (unless we are worried that our passwords are compromised but that is a totally different issue).
I want to use Blogger as my "online cloud storage device", basically I want to have a place in the cloud where I can store data (and easily edit/add data from anywhere anytime). The problem is that this data is important and I cannot afford to wake up one day and have it gone.
Does the data (our blog posts) in Blogger provide the same kind of "data-security" as our emails in Gmail?
I know that Blogger is owned by Google but are there any official documents/terms describing the "safety" of our data with Blogger?

I have claimed a lovely little box as my own. I was exploring in the wardrobe that had been left open and I came across it. So I figured finders keepers…
Mum lifted my box out and put it on the bed, I think she thought I'd get out. She was wrong.
It's soo comfy I got the best nights sleep.
I stayed in there all night, until I was rudely woken up this morning.
I think I'm going to take it down to Nocturne next time because when we're out sailing I like to wedge myself in somewhere. My box is perfect!

For a period, Campbeltown was the undisputed Whisky Capital of World, boasting over 30 distilleries operating simultaneously at its peak. Locally available peat, barley and coal, coupled with a quick steamship service to Glasgow meant this thriving industry lasted into the early 20th Century. Alas; ultimately (and perhaps inevitably) it proved unsustainable, and by 1935 the bubble had well and truly burst, with only Springbank and Glen Scotia distilleries remaining.
The first distillation of Longrow was carried out in 1973 as an experiment, when the Chairman of Springbank Distillery set out to prove that it was possible to produce an Islay style single malt whisky on the mainland. Given that you see Islay from the other side of the Kintyre peninsula, this didn't seem like much of a stretch. The experiment proved a success, and so Longrow was distilled again a few years later and has gone on to become an important part of the company's portfolio, with regular distillation having taken place since 1992.
Distilled: 20.02.2004
Age: 13 Year Old
57.1% ABV / 70cl

*A "lined" wood stove insert is a wood stove that has been inserted into an existing fireplace and has a stainless steel liner (pipe or flexible pipe material) that runs the entire length of the chimney flue and is attached to the exhaust port of the wood stove insert. The wood stove insert does not need to be removed in this situation for cleaning. An unlined insert does need to be removed for proper cleaning.
Servicing Sheridan Oregon Area Homes
Type the search phrase Chimney repair into a search engine and many entries appear. The Portland metropolitan area has a lot of competition for this niche market. Often in the Sheridan area a chimney that runs through the middle of the house and is in need of rebuilding only needs to be torn down to the roof level or 2 feet below the roof. At these points the chimneys are in better condition and begin to "firm up". This is because most of the weathering of the chimney has occurred to the brickwork that was exposed to the weather. Your time is at a premium and you need to get this task off of your list; you do not want any complications. This is a chance to make this entire process quick and simple.

I dislike reading generally, because it is so time-consuming and as a former English major I just find it tiresome as a mental exercise, but I finally picked up The Godfather by Mario Puzo. I know the movies backwards and forwards, so I was always keen to read the book hoping it would be like Harry Potter and there would be tons of interesting stuff that they left out of the movies. I'm only a couple of chapters in, so we'll see. It is already overwhelmingly apparent to me that the movies are FAR, FAR SUPERIOR to the book itself, at least as an artistic enterprise. Puzo had a great story to tell but he is no master of prose, IMHO. Coppolla really breathed life into that thing and gave it a breadth and depth all his own.
Y'all are nerds.

Article content
Years ago, I took my legendary arm, deft fielding skills and the booming bat that once had me "dominating" the Toronto Press League, and headed off to Dunedin, Fla., to try out for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Midway through spring training, The Globe and Mail's already legendary sportswriter Allen Abel strode past the batting cage, and warned me that, judging from what he was witnessing, I was good enough to make the team, and that my journalistic attempt to echo Walter Mitty might result in an unintended career change.
This was way back in 1979 when the Jays' team was truly that bad, finishing seventh in the American League East with 53 wins and 109 losses, aided and obviously abetted by a gravity-defying team ERA of 4.82.
It was voted years later as the worst professional sports team to have ever been fielded in Toronto.
That said, I would have quit my job at the Sun in a second to ride the pine for a year if manager Roy Hartsfield had wanted me on the bench, just for a chance of one pinch- hit appearance in the Bigs.
I loved baseball that much, and likely no bigger fan existed in any newsroom that didn't have a baseball writer like the Sun's Bob Elliott in its midst, as evidenced by his recent induction into Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame.
Then came the 1994 baseball strike and, from that day forward, I never attended another Jays' game.
I felt betrayed, no doubt similar to all the NHL fans who were denied the game they love by greedy owners fighting with greedy players over who would come out the greediest when the lockout finally ended.
And then there was the hypocrisy of David Cone.
When the baseball strike began, Cone was a Cy Young winner with the Kansas City Royals, and the team's rep on the players' association.
And he was very vocal in arguing that the players were unselfishly defending the principles of the game for future generations and that the replacement players who later attended spring training were not only scabs but scabs who should be shunned like the plague.
And then what did Cone do when all was said and done?
Well, no sooner had the strike ended than he was traded to the Jays and was pitching opening game — with a replacement umpire behind the plate.
Yes, with the less-publicized umpires' strike still unsettled, the league brought in replacement umpires to get the season rolling, and David Cone took to the mound as if there was no double standard in his actions.
That was it for me. That was the clincher.
The same Globe and Mail that once had Allen Abel on its sports-writing roster had this to say last week about the end of the NHL lockout.
"Many fans, and even sportswriters, are calling for boycotts of games and of NHL merchandise, the belief being that the league cares only about money and hitting it in the pocketbook will be the retaliatory gesture that hurts it the most," it said.
"But is it really such a shock that a professional sports league, along with its owners and players, would focus on the bottom line?
"The most sensible thing to do," said the editorial, "is be thankful the entire season wasn't lost and just get back to enjoying the game."
Well, easier said than done.
When the Ottawa Senators entered the league in the '90s, I was editor of the Ottawa Sun.
I embraced the team, knowing then that Harold Ballard had not been dead long enough for me to again support the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I bought licence plates for my truck that carried the Senators' logo, bought a team sweater with no name on the back because there were no real "stars" on the squad.
Today, however, I am thinking about getting new plates.
Perhaps they will carry the Toronto Argonauts logo.
They're Grey Cup champs after all but, more importantly, none are millionaires.
Most of them are likely more like us — unable to afford four tickets to take their families to an NHL game.
That, at least, is relatable.

Heavy rains force MMSD into second sewerage overflow
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District began the second combined overflow situation of 2013 Thursday morning as heavy rains pounded the area.
The MMSD released a combined output of untreated sewage with rainwater when the utility's treatment plants, as well as the deep tunnel retention system, approach capacity.
The city's deep tunnel, which holds about 430 million gallons of water ahead of two treatment plants, was filled overnight in just a matter of hours.
"Since midnight, we've had anywhere from 2-3 inches of rain," executive director Kevin Shafer said. "The tunnel started filling up very quickly."
Shafer said the combined overflow began around 4:30 a.m. after combined sewage treatment at MMSD's Jones Island failed to keep up with demand.
He said the combined treatment option allowed an extra 100 million gallons through the plant, but it was not fast enough to keep up with Mother Nature.
Parts of MMSD's sewer area remains on a system that combines sanitary sewers with storm sewers. Heavy rains can tax a separated system but can prove overwhelming in combined sewer situations.
The MMSD uses the overflow option to help prevent residential sewerage backups.
Shafer said this week's combined overflow could last for several days as ponding and groundwater begins to recede.

Amoeba favorite and SF local Carletta Sue Kay (aka Randy Walker) released her latest video, "Sloppy Kisses," just in time for Pride, Summer, Father's Day and anything else you can think of to celebrate while listening to this heart-wrenchingly sweet and sinister masterpiece.
Walker's female persona examines concepts of gender, love, life, and relationships through song and performance, and always with a twist. Who else but Carletta Sue Kay could rhyme the lines "cinnamon and sage" with "minimum wage" or toss out a head-scratcher like "I don't like my father at all, but I like your sloppy kisses"?

In a career that spans five decades, New Mexico author John Nichols has written more books and screenplays than he can count on his fingers and toes. His first novel, The Sterile Cuckoo, was published when he was in his mid-20s, and The Milagro Beanfield War—the first book in his New Mexico trilogy—remains a classic of Southwestern literature.
In his latest novel, On Top of Spoon Mountain, Nichols revisits the landscape he knows best: high desert plains and jagged peaks.
Protagonist Jonathan Kepler decides he wants to climb a 13,000-foot mountain on his 65th birthday. Never mind that he's only 48 hours out of the emergency room following a heart-attack scare, or that he's got asthma. Or that he's got a whole slew of other reasons to simply stay home. Kepler is determined to climb Spoon Mountain, and he's doing it in three weeks.
Kepler, a thrice-divorced curmudgeon, knows he hasn't been exactly a model father or husband, and his current relationship, with a real estate agent, is tenuous, at best. He's on the waning edge of his writing career, and he envisions climbing Spoon Mountain with his two grown children, hoping to reconnect with them in a place they once enjoyed together. Perhaps the climb will somehow redeem his mistakes, or restore and heal the time he's already wasted. The souls in Dante's Purgatorio shed their sins as they struggle up steep and rugged terrain. Why shouldn't Spoon Mountain do the same for Jonathan Kepler?
Spoon Mountain, however, is no holy ground. And Kepler, outspoken and proud, proves to be more of a self-absorbed jerk than a contrite soul seeking a better life. On Top of Spoon Mountain showcases its author's sensitivity to the natural world, but unfortunately, this novel's characters are as predictable as its ending. Some too-sensational moments, along with a protagonist who speaks in clichés, also threaten the book's believability.
For those willing to forgive such shortcomings, On Top of Spoon Mountain will provide an entertaining and humorous read. There is something compelling in the story of a man who is seeking to conquer a mountain—and himself. Even though Kepler fails to conquer much of anything, his quest reveals that reaching a summit may be less important than the struggle to get there.

Create a safer and more welcoming environment in your home and surroundings with our health aids and personal care items. From alarms and sensors for protecting against stress, injury and accidents, to functional items to help you read, relax and sleep, we have many health aids that can help you. Day-to-day tasks are much less daunting and difficult when you have the right equipment in place for support.
Rachel is NRS Healthcare's Clinical Lead and works at our Head Office in Leicester. With 24 years' experience in Occupational Therapy, Rachel has a superb and varied knowledge of the subject - making her the ideal person to explain more about the equipment we offer and how it can help those who are more vulnerable stay safe and independent at home, or when out and about.
The health aids on this website are designed to help create a more comfortable home environment for those living with age or health-related conditions, so they can carry out daily activities more independently.
As you might imagine, health and personal care aids can help manage many symptoms that are associated with a broad range of conditions. Some equipment can assist with rehabilitation, such as therapeutic putty to help strengthen weak hands and fingers, whilst other products can help with everyday tasks, like the Doro 311C Phone Easy Telephone with large contrasting buttons that may be suitable for a person living with reduced vision.
The health aids featured in this section may be of help to anyone who is living with:
Unfortunately for some of us, our health may deteriorate as we get older and we might need additional support in our everyday routines.
Common "wear and tear" conditions, such as joint pain or hearing loss, may affect your physical capabilities, but the right health aids can help you remain independent at home or when out and about.
A Medically Approved Hearing Aid, for example, can help you hear things much more clearly and with two earplug sizes to choose from you can ensure your hearing aid stays comfortable and secure in your ear all day. You may also find the DB200 Hearing Aid Dry Box handy to help prevent ear infections and ensure your hearing aid maintains optimal functionality. This is achieved by using a low heat alongside UV light radiation to remove condensation and prevent residual bacteria from spreading.
One of the most common health conditions experienced by older people is arthritis, in particular Osteoarthritis – a progressive joint disease that mostly affects cartilage and leads to painful joints due to stiffness or swelling. Hands and fingers are often affected, but if you're finding medication isn't enough to stem the pain, you may want to try a pair of Thermal Arthritic Gloves. Secured easily with Velcro fastenings, these gloves compress and heat hands through naturally generated body heat and specially designed Thermoskin construction, providing drug-free pain relief, particularly during the winter months.
When it comes to mental health, the risk of developing conditions which cause memory loss can also increase as we age. For this reason, we have included a large section within our Health Aids and Personal Care category that addresses the symptoms of dementia and the personal health aids which can help those living with the condition, as well as equipment to make daily tasks easier for carers
For those living with a chronic condition such as epilepsy, diabetes or cystic fibrosis, there are a range of personal care aids within our health monitors section that can help to identify night-time seizure activity and hypoglycaemia. A suction machine can help to control respiratory infection by providing effective airways clearance.
If you're living with bladder or bowel weakness then NRS Healthcare has a range of health aids which can help you live more comfortably and confidently with incontinence. There's a wide range of pads and pants in a variety of sizes and absorbency levels to choose from, so you can be sure to find the product that gives you the best protection, which will make you feel more confident and able to participate in activities that you enjoy.
If you're a carer for someone living with dementia, NRS Healthcare stock a number of products to help ensure their continued safety, whilst also encouraging them to stay as independent as possible. Technology such as a Family & Friends Auto Dialling Emergency Alarm can be worn around the neck and used to call for help at the push of a button, whilst a Keysafe can be placed outside the home, next to the door, so that friends, family and carers with an access code can always gain secure entry in an emergency.
For children and young adults living with conditions such as Autism or Sensory Processing Disorder, NRS Healthcare have a special "Sensory Stimulation" section which highlights a range of personal health aids to encourage calm and focus during times of overstimulation. Some toys, such as the Undo Me Mini Cube, not only promote concentration and relaxation but also build fine motor skills which children can use in other areas of everyday life. The Dark Den is a particularly useful aid for children and young adults who need a safe, quiet space that offers a distraction-free environment.
The products featured in our health aids section are designed to promote independence and increase confidence so that a person can participate in activities that they enjoy.
For people living with long-term conditions the products offer choice, which may help them to manage their care, or their condition, in a way that fits in with their lifestyle.
NRS Healthcare live by their motto of "Putting People First" and work hard with many Local Authorities across the UK to help over a quarter of a million people live, work and enjoy their leisure time, whatever their individual challenges might be.
Established for over 70 years, NRS now have over 3000 products to choose from online, so whether you're a professional carer or family member looking to help someone live more independently, or you're living with a health condition and need some personal health aids to help make daily tasks easier at home, you'll find the equipment to fit your needs.
Additionally, NRS Healthcare also offer a FREE Product Advice Line, which is managed by our wonderful team of Occupational Therapists. If you're unsure about which health aids would best suit your requirements, you can call the advice line on 0345 121 8111 and our OT's will be on hand to guide you towards the equipment they believe will be of most benefit to you, so you can continue living independently at home or when out and about.

The Government is firmly focused on growing the economy and boosting incomes. Through our Business Growth Agenda we are creating opportunities to help grow more jobs in New Zealand, for New Zealanders.

Kasi and Mtani are a cheetah and dog living at Busch Gardens in Florida, where they are now celebrating the one year anniversary of their friendship. The relationship between the animals started when they were both less than 16 weeks old, and their adorable relationship is a result of a labored effort by park staff to slowly acclimate the two to one another in the hopes of building a lifelong fondness between the two. As of now, they are officially roommates in the cheetah run, where they spend their days exercising and playing like an extra vicious Milo and Otis.

Potsdam Businessman Receives SUNY Canton's Distinguished Alumni AwardTuesday, May 12th, 2009
A 1959 SUNY Canton Automotive Technology alumnus who owns one of the most successful North Country automotive dealerships will be honored by his alma mater.
D. Edgar Cloce, President of TJ Toyota in Potsdam, is the 2009 Recipient of the College's Distinguished Alumni Award. The award will be presented at SUNY Canton's 101st Commencement Ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 16, outdoors across from French Hall.
"Ed has been an exceptional advocate for the College and has employed many of our graduates," said Dennis Tuper, an Automotive Technology Instructor and 2002 alumnus. "TJ Toyota is a business leader in St. Lawrence County and the company has been recognized for its continued outstanding service, customer satisfaction, and community involvement at the corporate level."
Professor Emeritus Walter R. Kingston was among the individuals to nominate Cloce for the award. Kingston referred to Cloce's outstanding commitment to the North Country community. "It makes me proud to see one of my former students become such a superb example of the success that can be achieved at SUNY Canton," Kingston said. "He is an ambassador for the college and role model for students and alumni alike."
During the college's recent Centennial Celebration, Cloce donated a Toyota Prius to the SUNY Canton Foundation. The brand-new, fuel-saving hybrid vehicle was raffled to raise proceeds for an Automotive Technology scholarship. Ed and his wife, Clara, have also endowed a family scholarship that further aids students in the program.
When asked about what he would like to share with future graduates of the college, Ed replied: "You will always remember your time here at SUNY Canton. Your education and experiences will serve you well throughout your career and your life, as it did in mine."
SUNY Canton offers a wide variety of career-driven bachelor's, associate, and certificate programs, as well as three master's degrees in conjunction with SUNYIT, Utica. Most of SUNY Canton's new four-year programs are designed so students can take them on-campus, online, or both. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 100 courses online each semester. The College offers a four-day academic week allowing students greater flexibility for work, family, or other obligations. The College's athletic teams belong to the NAIA's Sunrise Conference, enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years.

I am a student and I am developing several projects as a part of my academia.
While developing the database for one of the projects, we came across a situation where we thought about whether ERD is necessary or not. Right now, not every one of us are in agreement on developing the ERD first, and then developing database from it.
The majority of people prefers developing the database on the fly verbally according to the system requirementd on paper directly.
Now, I am strict follower of Database principles. I think the database should be developed from the ERD only. So, I just want to know the following:
- Is the industry following these principles?
- Am I just wasting my time on developing an ERD?
- What are the benefits of developing an ERD?

Krems an der Donau (Niederösterreich, Austria)
Krems is a city (pop. mid-1950s 20,359; 2007 c. 24,000) in the Wachau region of the Danube Valley in lower Austria. Anabaptists appeared here as early as 1527. On 15 November 1527 the magistrate of Krems inquired of the government what attitude he should take toward the Anabaptists staying at Gedersdorf; six days later he ordered them all arrested. In its ensuing report the council stated that there were respected citizens among the Anabaptists; that Jörg Krautschlögel had been known to be one. Among those seized were some illiterates, who were therefore less responsible, and some pregnant women and mothers of infants. A backslidden monk from Gleink together with his wife and child were arrested on suspicion of this doctrine. The government ordered on 13 December that the pregnant women and nursing mothers be released on bail; the council asked grace for the citizen Joh. Ernst, stated that the trial would demand much effort and money, and inquired what further steps should be taken. The government ordered on 8 February 1528 that the council should proceed according to the mandates and the degree of responsibility of the prisoners. The register of martyrs lists three executions in Krems.
Since Krems lay on the route most travelers took from Tyrol or Switzerland to Moravia (and the Moravian Anabaptist brotherhood was augmented for decades chiefly by additions from Tyrol) they are often mentioned here. Although special mandates had been issued to the boatmen strictly forbidding the transport of Anabaptists, the refugees continued to prefer the Danube trip, leaving the boat at Stein, opposite Krems. In the village of Hohenwart near Krems several Anabaptists lay in prison in 1534. Hutter addressed an epistle to them. After some time they were taken to Egginburg, where their cheeks were burned through and they were released. The feet of one had been in the stocks so long that they had to be amputated in Moravia.
In the 1540s especially large numbers of Tyrolese migrated to Moravia via Krems. In spite of the watchfulness of the authorities, most of them arrived safely in Moravia. Nevertheless some were seized. A group led by Sebastian Leutner, a binder from the Adige, who had led four transports safely, was caught in Stein. He recanted, but died of the plague before he could be released by penance. Konrad Heinzemann, however, who was seized there two days later leading a Swabian group, was more steadfast (1558). He was taken to Vienna with Christel Kircher, who had been Leutner's traveling companion, where he was released in the following year through the intervention of Pfauser, the Lutheran court preacher of Archduke Maximilian, before the bishop of Vienna, Anton Brus, could initiate the trial.
Magister Gangolf Wagner, the preacher of Krems, was called to Vienna in 1573 by the Lower Austrian Landmarschall, Hans Wilhelm, Baron of Rogendorf, to convert the brothers Marx and Bernhard Klampferer, but to no avail.
In the 1580s several Swiss groups touched Krems en route to Moravia. The Zurich council complained about the emigration of so many people, especially about the Moravian emissaries, who lured them with small gifts, especially with little knives of their own production. In 1608, when a Swiss group was arrested by the magistrate in Krems, who took from them their possessions and sent them into the community for forced labor, the Moravian authorities, including Cardinal Dietrichstein, protested this act to the emperor on 17 October and demanded their immediate release; they declared that because of war there was in many localities a shortage of inhabitants and that the immigration of the Swiss was very desirable (Pamatkenbuch, 1601 ff., Brno, State archives).

Reducing Ozone
A large proportion of the ground-level ozone generated in the San Antonio area comes from the exhaust and fumes from vehicles. If we reduce the amount of exhaust and fumes from vehicles, we can reduce the amount of the harmful ozone we have in the air. There are a number of ways we can do this:
Drive less
Conserve fuel
Avoid traffic delays
Also. . . .
For more information, contact Jesse Chadwick at (210) 362-5317 or e-mail.
Drive less
- Combine errands into as few trips as possible
- Consider carpooling (you may find a carpool partner at Alamo Commutes)
- Use public transportation (check VIA for San Antonio or ART for greater regional areas)
- Walk or take a bike
Conserve fuel
- Avoid aggressive driving: start and stop gradually
- Drive the posted speed limit or less
- Avoid drive-thru lanes: go inside instead
- Shut off the engine while waiting outside of schools, businesses, and so on
- Keep excess weight out of your vehicle
- Don't continue to fill your gas tank after the pump has automatically shut off
- Seal the gas cap tightly: Turn the cap until it clicks three times
Avoid traffic delays
- Anticipate construction and other congested areas and take alternative routes
- Leave earlier or later than rush hours to avoid traffic
Also. . . .
- Keep car engines maintained
- Keep tires properly inflated
- Consider buying a "cleaner" or more fuel-efficient vehicle

In 1983, a college history teacher told me that in his view, the next major conflagration would happen in South Africa, where the black majority was agitating to throw off the oppressive rule of the white South African minority.
Due to Nelson Mandela, the conflagration never happened.
"Blessed are the peacemakers." Mandela was a peacemaker. He presided over the transition in power in South Africa without exacting revenge for the horrific offenses of apartheid. It is one of the great achievements in statecraft of the last 100 years.
Wars which don't happen don't get the headlines of those which do.
But avoiding war is a supreme achievement, always to be honored.
Neville Chamberlain's "peace in our time" was a phony achievement. Mandela's avoidance of war in South Africa was real, and lasting.
(Avoiding war with Iran is also a great achievement, by the way.)
The rush to war is an evil thing. Mandela knew it. He knew the radical forgiveness needed to avoid such a war, and he exercised it. Only one who suffered as he had possessed the moral authority to convince others to forgive as well.

So today while I was in Target I decided to browse the string bikinis. Now little did I not realize that I would be subjecting myself to self-destructive behavior.
Here's the thing: Target has millions of string bikinis that I have long since outgrown. However, little did I know that they have the "next step" of mix and match bikini tops and bottoms with fuller cuts and more style options for the customer who's still hot enough to wear a two-piece, but needs more support that a string can offer.
As I picked up the bikini bottom with a skirt ruffle I asked myself, "Is this what my life has come to?" Before I could get the words out I looked in the horrid dressing room mirror under the disgracing "wal-mart-esque" lighting. From that moment on, my bikini life as I knew it took a victorious turn.
That bikini bottom that I thought was so "old lady" turned out to be my new best friend. Total cost: $37.50. I am happy to report that I totally surpassed my potential cuteness and will be struttin' around the beach WITHOUT shorts this year. Yay me!

President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie revived their political odd-couple partnership Tuesday for a tour of a rebuilt Jersey Shore that was devastated by Hurricane Sandy seven months ago.
President Barack Obama delivers remarks Tuesday from Asbury Park, N.J., after touring areas that are rebuilding from Hurricane Sandy.
The two were there to usher in the beginning of the summer tourist season and showed that the comfortable public relationship they displayed in the immediate aftermath of the storm last fall remained as the leaders spoke with beachgoers, played boardwalk games and high-fived one another after Christie aced one contest.
In his public remarks, Obama pronounced the Jersey Shore "back," just months after the superstorm washed away much of its boardwalk. "You are stronger than the storm," Obama told cheering residents and visitors. "The Jersey Shore is back and it's open for business."
But Tuesday's joint-appearance served political purposes for Christie and Obama alike.
AP, AFP-Getty Images, file
TOP: President Barack Obama is greeted by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie upon his arrival at Atlantic City International Airport on Oct. 31, 2012.
BOTTOM: Obama shakes hands with Christie after arriving at Joint Base McGuire-Dix in New Jersey on May 28, 2013.
Christie is facing re-election this fall in Democratic-leaning New Jersey, a state Obama carried by 17 points last fall. Appearing with a relatively popular Democratic president helps Christie burnish his bipartisan credentials and crossover appeal, which first helped him win election in 2009.
At the same time, though, Christie's apparently close working relationship with Obama could come back to bite him in 2016, should he decide to seek the Republican presidential nomination. The governor's recent announcement that he'd sought to manage his girth with weight-loss surgery only accelerated speculation about his future White House ambition.
For Obama, the trip to New Jersey is a welcome break from some of the controversies that have consumed his administration in welcome weeks. An appearance with a Republican who's not piling on the White House for the IRS, Benghazi or targeting reporters will offer the president a chance to change the story and escape partisan needling for once.
Christie's first appearance with Obama in the immediate aftermath of Sandy coincided with the closing days of the 2012 presidential
election. And although Christie had spoken out in favor of the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, the governor's effusive praise for the federal response to Sandy spearheaded by Obama rubbed many conservatives the wrong way.
("I don't think that's why the president won the election," Romney said of Christie's embrace of Obama months later in an interview with Fox. "I'm not going to worry about how Chris was doing what he thought was best for the people of his state.")
Obama and Christie did spend some quality time together on Tuesday. The two political leaders from opposite parties played several boardwalk games, including "Touchdown Fever." When Christie fired a football through a tire on the first attempt, Obama met him for an excited high-five. Christie later gave the teddy bear -- a "Chicago Bear," for the president's hometown football team -- to Obama.
On Tuesday, both Obama and Christie lauded the recovery work achieved so far, but stressed that much work was still ahead. And Christie reiterated his pledge to work closely with all officials as the recovery goes forward.

President Obama holds a stuffed bear given to him by Gov. Christie after playing an arcade game along the boardwalk in Point Pleasant, N.J.
"I am not going to let anything or anyone get in between me and the mission of completing the work to restore our great state," Christie said.
Obama said his trip to the shore wasn't just intended for those on the East Coast, but for Oklahomans affected by last week's devastating tornadoes, as well.
"When we make a commitment that we've got your back, we mean it," Obama said of his message to those in Oklahoma. "And we're not going to finish until the work is done."

Mozilla has released version 5 of Thunderbird, the popular open source e-mail client. The update includes some new features, updated components under the hood, and a number of performance and stability improvements.
Mozilla spun off Thunderbird in 2007, creating a separate organization called Mozilla Messaging. The split was reversed several months ago when Mozilla announced that it would reabsorb the messaging group and integrate it into Mozilla Labs.
The Thunderbird development model underwent some significant changes alongside the organizational restructuring. Its versioning and development cycle have seemingly been harmonized with that of Firefox. The Thunderbird version number was bumped up directly from 3.x to 5—skipping version 4 entirely. This change allows Thunderbird's version number to match Firefox and reflect the version number of the underlying Gecko rendering engine that is shared between both applications.
Firefox's move to shorter development cycles and more frequent major releases creates some technical challenges for other software applications that are built on top of Gecko and use other key components of the Mozilla software platform. In light of those challenges, it makes sense for Thunderbird to simply conform with the pace that is being set by Firefox so that the mail client can continue to use the shared components without having to maintain a fork.
In addition to moving to the Gecko 5 engine, Thunderbird also brings some other improvements. Thunderbird 5 has gained Firefox's slick new tab-hosted add-on management user interface. Startup time has noticeably improved in the new version, allowing the user to start working with the application sooner after startup.
Thunderbird gained a tabbed interface when version 3.0 was launched in 2009, but the original tab implementation had a lot of major limitations that detracted from its day-to-day usefulness. Some much-needed improvements to tabbing have landed in version 5.0, including the ability to reorder tabs, move them between windows, and snap them out into their own windows.
These tabbing improvements are a step in the right direction, but some limitations still remain. For example, it still doesn't appear to be possible to view your address book in a tab or write a message within a tab—those operations still need separate floating windows.
Much like Firefox 5, the new version of Thunderbird isn't heavy on major new user-facing features. As usual, however, there are plenty of performance, stability, and architectural improvements under the hood.
It's possible that we could see more significant changes in some of the upcoming releases. The Thunderbird developers are working on a number of compelling experiments with useful functionality. The most highly anticipated upcoming feature is the conversation view, which offers a Gmail-like user interface for viewing message discussions. This work is largely being done in an add-on, which users can install in Thunderbird 5.0.
There used to be a really nasty-looking pile of caveats and known bugs associated with the add-on, but the handful of remaining problems are all minor and fairly tame. It seems pretty mature at this point and worked well for me. It didn't give me any trouble when I put it through some stress tests and subjected it to a few obscenely long mailing list threads.
I'm hoping that we will see the conversation view land in a Thunderbird release in the not-too-distant future. It does a great job of showcasing the capabilities that are made possible by some of the major improvements that Thunderbird has gotten under the hood.
Another cool experimental feature that is still under development is support for synchronization between instances of Thunderbird. The feature is being built with the same underlying software as Firefox Sync, but it's designed to handle address books, account information, and mail preferences.
Thunderbird 5 is available for download from the Mozilla website. For more details about the release, you can refer to the official announcement and the release notes. For more details about Thunderbird development, you can look at the minutes of the last status meeting and the wiki page with information about experimental features.

Samsung Galaxy S3: First Smartphone With Wireless Charging
The Samsung Galaxy S3 could be the first smartphone to feature wireless charging, according to a Korean publication known as DDaily.
It stated that Samsung's next-generation Galaxy device could lead the way for all smartphones to lose the wire and fully embrace the new technology.
Smartphone owners can now give their phone that capability by purchasing a replacement rear cover and hacking in a inductive charging coil. But there will be no need for that on the Galaxy S3, according to DDaily's anonymous source, who claims that wireless charging will come stocked with the device.
This would not be the first time that Samsung would be the first to usher in new technology. The company implemented its Kies Air desktop software that is used for wirelessly syncing devices, and gave the Galaxy S2 an MHL port.
The webOS Palm Pre is one of the only devices on the market to feature inductive charging.
The publication mentioned that Samsung's Galaxy device may not have to physically touch the charging surface in order to acquire power. It also states that Samsung will apply its own proprietary, patented charging method rather than the similar Fulton eCoupled method that was shown at CES.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is expected to launch sometime before the summer.
Other rumored features on the device include a quad-core processor, 4G LTE connectivity, a ceramic body, Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED high definition display.
Samsung was originally expected to unveil the device at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. However, those plans were changed due to the company's desire to have the reveal and actual launch take place much closer together.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is one the world's bestselling Android smartphones. Samsung uses the Galaxy line to directly compete with Apple's iPhone. So the S3 will be built to go up against the new iPhone.

Outsourced Job Moves In House to Save Money
Up against a tight deadline and down to a single insert to run an entire batch of hardened steel components, Metalmite turned to Sandvik Coromant to help overcome a tough threading operation and take an expensive outsourced job in-house for a fraction of the cost.
Tom Gendich, president of Metalmite Corp., grew up immersed in a manufacturing environment. His father, Michael Gendich III, who started the business in 1968, saw to it that his son was exposed to manufacturing, so naturally Tom's earliest memories include deburring parts and sweeping the shop floors. And from early on, Tom was indoctrinated with the unique, forward-looking mentality that his father imbued in the shop.
Michael had originally conceived of Metalmite after a decade of witnessing shop inefficiency in roles as a draftsman, manufacturing salesman and shop manager. He envisioned his own shop as a model of efficiency, based on a dream to create a better approach to manufacturing, tapping into the latest technology for productivity and optimized processes. And Michael continued down that path, growing his company in efficiency and productivity as well as in size and scope.
Featured Content
When Michael eventually retired, Tom was there to take the reins. Having studied in the aviation and management fields he was ready to take over as president. He was committed to keeping his father's early vision of efficiency and productivity alive. For instance, he studied Lean Manufacturing principles and helped to have the company certified to ISO 9001:2008, as well as getting the company approved as a Prime Contractor for the U.S. Military.
Built on the efficiency principal, while keeping productivity and precision high at the lowest possible cost to the customer, Metalmite thrived and consistently grew over its 45 year history. The shop currently occupies more than 10,000 square-feet of space, and employs 18 operators. The company's wheelhouse in terms of customers lies primarily in aerospace, military and automotive fields. Though those three industries make up the majority orders, the production mix is ever-changing, keeping things interesting.
"Our unique set of customers keeps us diversified—I have no sales people, our reputation precedes us in a lot of ways," Tom says. "Most customers have worked with us for 20 to 25 years, and we have strong relationships. And most of the new customers we've added have been the result of customers switching to new companies and calling on us to help in their new role."
The shop predominantly features five- and six-axis turning and milling machines, wire EDM, and CNC grinding machines. Much of the heat treating and finishing is handled by Metalmite, so the company is usually able to deliver a finished product. Taking on turnkey projects is a focus area for the company.
The sweet spot for orders had long been medium-sized runs of around 1,000 parts or less, but with the recent boom in automotive production, Tom has witnessed that run numbers creep upwards of 5,000 specifically for an all-wheel-drive drive shaft. In fact, it was a similar drive shaft that put Tom and shop manager Ryan Matz in a bind that tested Metalmite's commitment to efficiency and self-reliance in the face of a tight deadline.
Tooling up to Take a Job In-House
A turned drive shaft forgings of 1050 steel, induction hardened to 62 Rockwell, was a difficult-to-machine component. Complicating things, the threaded component featured a milled keyway or slot that interrupted the thread. In fact, there were two keyway slots, one on each side. The slots that made the interrupted cut were 7.6 mm wide and 3 mm deep, so they were deeper than the actual thread. The thread length was 25 mm long, and those keyways went the whole length.
"We had been sending them out for an external thread grinding operation. It became costly and a timing issue – and time is our most valuable resource," Tom says. "Around the time we were doing that component, we had bought a Samsung SL 35 lathe. We were phasing out an older machine from 1987, and we knew the new Samsung would open the door to a lot of new tooling because of the speeds, feeds and advanced controls. We knew that we'd be able to push the envelope, and start doing our own threading on the hardened steel."
And for this particular hardened steel job, the thread had a larger flange and needed a drilled hole – the new machine could do the drilling and hold the size they needed. Within a week of purchasing the new machine, Metalmite's distributor called to invite the shop to the demonstration that Sandvik Coromant was holding on the Samsung SL35 machine. Mr. Matz went to watch, and asked the Sandvik Coromant yellow coat to see some specific threading examples that they could apply to the difficult drive shaft application. Sure enough, the demo produced the results that Metalmite was looking for – Tom and Mr. Matz were ready to take the threading operation in-house.
"When I went to that demo, I wasn't aware that Sandvik Coromant had CBN for threading," Mr. Matz says. "I had never seen it before. That was something new that I saw, and it fit the job perfectly."
Mr. Matz came back from the demo on a Wednesday, and Metalmite was ready to start threading on Thursday. Remarkably, there were only four Sandvik Coromant inserts to our specs in all of North America, so Tom ordered them all –spent $500 for the inserts themselves and had them over-nighted to them, and Sandvik Coromant came through. That was important, as the 120-component run was scheduled for delivery on Monday of the following week.
Hiccups and Heros
Initially, Mr. Matz intended to run at 500 surface feet and 0.003-inch depth of cut. This would place the RPMs at 1,212. But halfway through the first part, the first insert broke. It turns out that somewhere in translation, the keyhole slots hadn't been taken into consideration.
There they were, Saturday at 10 a.m.; they had just snapped their first insert, and they did not have a part to show for it. At that point, Tom had two options. He could call up the thread grinding shop, begging them to help with the parts Metalmite had promised to the customer for Monday morning, or trust the new technology that Sandvik Coromant had created. He decided to stick with the new technology.
Mr. Matz first thought was the 0.003-inch depth of cut in the interrupted cut was just too much for the insert. On the part he was running, he had already cut the thread. So, in that thread cycle, he couldn't just back off the feed because the timing wouldn't pick up, and he'd end up having to scrap the part. He could, however, change the depth. So Ryan reduced the depth of cut by half, which allowed him to cut the rest of the first part. With every adjustment, the tool life improved. But Metalmite was still down to only one insert, five parts into the 120-part run.
That's when Ryan arrived at to 375 surface feet and 0.001-inch depth of cut, resulting in zero wear on the insert. They were then able to run the remaining 115 of 120 parts on their single remaining insert.
"This is the challenge we face being a job shop: no two jobs are the same. This is why we have to stay up on the latest technology, because if we don't, the industry will pass us by," Tom says. "Also, this is why we are excited to work with Sandvik Coromant, and look forward to what's to come in the future."
Not to mention, when Tom and Mr. Matz were sending these parts out for grinding, they were spending about $17.50 each to get that part ground, a cost that had to be passed on to the customer. By getting the life out of a single insert that they did, for 120 parts, they made out well, even with three out of the four inserts going down early thanks to a simple miscommunication. Once the correct speeds and feeds were dialed in and the keyholes accounted for, that $17.50 per part outsourced went down to about a dollar per component, a significant savings.
"It's so nice, when you think about it, if you hard turn the whole shaft, you know that the thread is going to be perfect because you're just finishing on an existing setup," Ryan says." You're hard turning, then threading, and you know you're running perfect because it's on the same machine – no removing and then trucking and setting up again on a new machine for grinding. This goes right to the customer, saving on time and preventing unnecessary damage."
Opening Up New Possibilities
Tom says this one-insert hero story caught everybody's attention in the shops' eye, especially since they've done a lot of work with competitive tooling companies for many years. Metalmite has been on both sides of the aisle in both making the tooling for Sandvik Coromant's competitors, and used their tooling. Mr. Matz called all those guys with this problem, but none of them were able to do that kind of threading.
Prior to the new machine and hardened steel interrupted threading operation, the company didn't use many lathe turning inserts from Sandvik Coromant. Some of the tooling could be found around the shop, but when it came to lathes, Metalmite had been loyal to its suppliers.
"But since then, we have other similar stories on lathes, one was another threading application, one was hard turning with a high micro finish. Sandvik Coromant came through on those, as well," Tom says. "I also now think there are definitely more applications out there for us and Sandvik Coromant, and our milling department has been watching this whole story unfold. We're definitely looking at catalogs right now, and I think the doors are opening for more of a larger partnership in the future, now that we know what we can expect."
Bringing things in-house has been the biggest accomplishment. The company recently began hard turning chrome, a difficult operation that they would usually grind or outsource otherwise. We were able to use an insert and peel off the chrome to the size we needed so Tom bought the tooling and the inserts.
There are other new possibilities as well. The company already does a lot with aluminum, but has recently been asked to look at magnesium. Tom is always monitoring where the larger tooling suppliers are focusing, so non-ferrous is now on the radar, as well. With all of the new possibilities, Tom focuses on tool availability and support.
"Ryan was impressed with the specifics of why the tooling works, but from a management side, the availability of tooling is a key. Many times in the past, we were told about or promised tooling, and it either didn't exist or took months," Tom says. "With Sandvik Coromant, we could order it and have it the next day. Something with support, we'd often hear that we could do something with a certain tool or insert, and then it wouldn't deliver. That wasn't the case this time. We didn't even know the product existed, but we're sure glad we found it."

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by recognizing one of the premier football players in Tennessee State history.
In 1970 Ed "Too Tall" Jones arrived on the TSU campus on a basketball scholarship. However, after Jones spent a couple of seasons playing on the team, legendary head football coach John Merritt convinced Jones to give up basketball to focus on football.
The move worked for Jones as he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys with the first overall pick in the 1974 draft. He also had staying power- setting the Cowboys record for games played with the franchise.
Tennessee State was not prepared for a football player of Jones' size to suit up for the team, so Jones was given a uniform that didn't quite fit. Much to the delight of his teammates, Jones ended up looking like a child who had outgrown his clothes. His appearance led teammates to call him "Too Tall" because he looked too tall to play football.
Jones left TSU as the school's second leading sacker, having amassed 38 for his career. His collegiate performance got the attention of NFL teams from around the country, and the Cowboys did not hesitate to make Jones the highest player ever drafted from a HBCU.
Jones's talents carried over into his professional career- he was named All-Pro three times and helped the Cowboys win Super Bowl XII.
During his career, Jones tallied 106 sacks and 19 fumble recoveries.
Watch Jones and the Cowboy's "Doomsday Defense" below:
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

My office space is in need of some refreshing. It gets used so much that it's the first place to get dirty and the last to be cleaned. A little moodboard with colors and textures I like, pulled from magazines and booklets, was just what I needed to stay focused. I had wanted to redo parts of this room and little by little I have. The bookshelf in the corner, new Muuto chairs at the desk, I took the String shelf down and now in its place a this little collage.
I'm hoping by next week I can finish the last wall, behind the computer, with a fresh coat of paint and a wall organizer. Fingers crossed I can get it all done and give you a mini tour of the place. After all, the space you work in most should be one of the most important, easy to clean, organized and simple.
So stay tuned until next week!

Over the pleas of the local Amish community, a northwest Ohio health board decided to go ahead with plans to condemn two newly constructed Amish homes because they don't have required septic systems for their outhouses.
More than 100 Amish turned out Tuesday night to ask the Kenton-Hardin County Board of Health to reconsider the condemnation order, which requires that the homes be brought into compliance or the families move out.
Last summer, the health board said it would start enforcing rules that any new home must have a proper well and septic system — something the simple-living, outhouse-using Amish have never had to do. Health inspectors have not forced existing Amish homes to change. Around 200 Amish families live in Hardin County.
At issue are rules that require concrete, watertight pits under outhouses and the waste hauled away. The Amish, who turn their backs on modern technology, want to continue digging their own pits and spreading the waste on the land.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that on Tuesday night, Henry Yoder read a letter signed by the Hardin County Amish community's seven bishops asking the board to reconsider its orders. Yoder owns one of the houses that are not in compliance.
"Our goal is to uphold and maintain the biblical principles of faith which our forefathers believed: to be a separate people," Yoder read. "And, as stated in Romans 12th chapter, `Be ye not conformed … '."
County Prosecutor Brad Bailey said the issue is bigger than just two homes. Leeching and contamination from the human waste and bad wells can reach the water table and hurt others, he said.
"Our rules at the health department are to prevent problems before they happen, not to react to them," he said.
After more than two hours of testimony from health officials, the board's eight members didn't change their minds. They reaffirmed the orders to condemn the homes that they initially issued in January.
Now, the families can dig proper wells and install approved concrete pits under their outhouses, appeal the orders to the Hardin County Common Pleas Court, or move.
"Our goal is to live simple, God-fearing lives, and we feel your requirements are undermining our simple way of life," Yoder said, reading from the bishops' letter. "Our plea is to live in peace among our fellow citizens and maintain our lifestyles on our own personal properties unless it is definitely proven we are a health hazard to our neighbors."
All other Ohio counties with an Amish population have long ago settled similar disputes. Logan County, for example, agreed to let the Amish build their own pits as a compromise. Holmes County, with the state's largest Amish population, says the Amish follow the rules.

The Last Guardian being 're-engineered'
Sony's Shuhei Yoshida says he "cannot talk about" the platform of choice for The Last Guardian, and said that it is currently undergoing a "re-engineering" process.
The Last Guardian was primed to be a swan song for PS3, but it's gone quiet so long that PlayStation 4 will beat it to market. Might that mean it will end up on Sony's next-gen platform instead? A few cagey responses from Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida certainly seems suspicious.
"Ahh... that, I cannot talk about," Yoshida told GamesIndustry.biz, when asked point-blank about its console destination. "We're waiting for the right time to re-introduce The Last Guardian in an appropriate way. I can't... Well, the game is in development, and it's well staffed, and Ueda-san is here, working--even though he's not a Sony employee, he's dedicated to the product. But we're not ready to update yet."
Yoshida also reiterated previous comments that the game was not on hiatus, this time asserting that development never stopped at all, even temporarily.
"Hiatus, I never... It was Jack Tretton! He used that term, and I said no, hiatus is misleading. It was a hiatus in terms of releasing new information," he said. "The game has never stopped--the team has always been here. They're going through the re-engineering of the game, so the team size is smaller, because it's more engineering focused right now."
The team being shifted to an engineering focus could imply the work being done now is under the hood, which lends itself nicely for PS4 theorists. None of this is formally announced, naturally, but Yoshida doesn't seem to have the best poker-face.
Steve Watts posted a new article, The Last Guardian being 're-engineered'.
